Chapter 126: Win the hearts of the people and govern the army
Facing this old man who also paid for him to study abroad, Situ Baili didn't know how to comfort him. Because of the scene in front of him, the language of any explanation seemed very pale. In today's chaotic situation, those acts of kindness have indeed been buried, and rumors of selfishness have been spread.
As for the security offices of the Gannan Army, Situ Baili knew that this was not an isolated case, and the officers and soldiers of the city defense battalion in the county town were also like the officers and soldiers of the security offices in these towns, and they took pleasure in eating and meating the local people. Both officials and soldiers have the idea of making a fortune to spend their lives, and they do everything possible to squeeze these good people who are obedient.
Just when Situ Baili was speechless, Qi Lin stepped forward with a smile on his face and said, "Old man, my name is Qi Lin, and I am good brothers with Qingyun. This time, we came late and made the villagers suffer. However, starting today, you can always rest assured.
I will send a few of my men to guard the village, and if the people of the town dare to enter the village again, my men will definitely beat him out. Since these soldiers and officials cannot be masters of the house for the people. So why don't we take matters into our own hands? Anyway, without them, we won't be unable to live. You keep talking, that's what you mean, right? ”
When the seventh uncle heard Qi Lin's name, he said very respectfully: "You are the great leader of Qi in Dulong Mountain, and the old man doesn't know that the hero is coming, so I can't help it." I've heard that the villages that are now staying on the edge of Dulong Mountain have set up a village protection team. With the protection of your people, it is indeed a lot safer. However, if the army of officers and soldiers in the city is dispatched, I'm afraid it won't be good? ”
Regarding the old man wanting to let people stay in the village and worrying about the retaliation of the officials and soldiers in the city, Qi Lin smiled and said, "Old man, don't worry. Since we dare to send people into the village, we will do everything we can to protect your safety. As for the officers and soldiers in the city, if they dare to come out, we have a way to beat them back to the city.
You always relax, there is only one such thing today, and no one will dare to break into Baili Village next time. If there is a problem in the village, you can always get the losses of the villagers at any time and report to me Qi Lin. If you are robbed, I will definitely help you get it back from the hands of the officials and soldiers. If they dare to kill one of the people, then I will kill one of them as revenge. As long as they are afraid of death, they will not dare to hurt people at will. ”
Looking at Qi Lin's sincere assurances and promises, he quickly got the old man's consent, and also agreed to let many young students in the village join Qi Lin's village protection team in the village. In this way, this guerrilla detachment, which is an integrated company, has an additional village protection detachment with nearly 20 people.
Thinking of Anzhou today, there are countless villages like Baili Village. Once the villages and villages have formed a village protection team, these soldiers alone will be massive! At this moment, Situ Baili understood why, when he visited Linzhou that day, he raised suspicions to Zhou Dingbian.
It was when such a large number of weapons were distributed to the villagers that Xu Jiajun was not worried about causing trouble to their rule. Zhou Dingbian quoted Xu Bin's words, that is, the people of Longhua are simple and benevolent but lack blood. Of course, this kind of bloodiness is often based on the fact that the people are too defenseless, and in the face of those robbers with rifles, most of them choose to endure in the face of death.
If the weapons are distributed and the people are taught how to use them well. When they had enemies and dared to rob their belongings, the people would take up arms and fight back. Since the early days of the founding of the army, Xu Jiajun has never thought of competing with the people for profit, so it will not conflict with this kind of village-level militia organization at the root.
Besides, the bullets are generally in the hands of the trustworthy village captain, and without bullets, these rifles are just burning sticks. Therefore, the combination of management methods can make these people who are suffering from oppression, after they get the weapons that have the ability to resist, they will definitely burst out with a liliang that makes those exploiters fearful. After all, the most people in Longhua are not officers and soldiers, not local tyrants and inferior gentry, but simple people.
This kind of policy of 'hiding troops and the people,' which can not only obtain a source of reserve troops, but also win the support of the local people, is undoubtedly a novel idea of expanding the army. Situ Baili didn't understand it before, but now through Qi Lin's conversation and arrangement, he has a deep understanding of this set of ideas that seem to have invested a lot in expanding the army.
In the face of these captured officers and soldiers of the security center, the platoon commander who led the team was reported by his subordinates to kill and bully the people and had a blood debt on his hands. was directly ordered by Qi Lin and executed the shooting to set the record straight. At the same time, those officers and soldiers of the security center who did not have blood debts on them needed to be escorted to Dulong Mountain for some labor reform.
Only those who pass the re-education through labor can be released or accepted into the guerrilla units. This kind of captivity policy of killing and benevolence undoubtedly made Situ Baili deeply admire Xu Bin, who created this theory of unifying the army. In fact, he knew that Xu Bin was just drawing on the theories of his predecessors and linking them with the reality at this time, and created them according to the gourd painting scoop.
When he came to this time and space, Xu Bin paid attention to whether Longhua would appear, the kind of red team that created the prosperity of China in later generations. But at present, the red country that put forward the communist theory has not appeared. The Ice Bear Country, which bears a striking resemblance to the Red Country, is not the communists who overthrew the monarchy.
Today, the policy implemented by the Ice Bear State still follows the feudal imperial rule. Although the workers' and peasants' uprisings in the Ice Energy country seem to occur from time to time, the current ruling emperor of the Ice Bear State also seems to be at ease when it comes to suppressing these rebels.
Unexpectedly, this policy of combining workers and peasants did not appear, Xu Bin naturally would not miss this sharp weapon, and specially cut out some things that were not haode, instilled some advanced concepts in the previous life, and used all the bad and left haode to the current Xu Jiajun management policy. Now it seems that this set of policies is being implemented very well.
Once this set of policies is actually implemented, Xu Bin can imagine that this trend is enough to make Shijie shocked. Of course, before he had enough strength, Xu Bin kept a low profile as much as possible when implementing these guidelines and policies.
The collision between capitalism and socialism involves not one city or one place, but more of a country. Therefore, when this set of doctrines did not really take shape, Xu Bin tried his best not to let outsiders know the inside story. Making a fortune in a muffled voice is one of the magic weapons that Xu Bin learned by reborn in this time and space.
The dejected officers and soldiers of the security center were taken prisoner and escorted back to Dulong Mountain to undergo labor reform. With the guns brought by these officers and soldiers, Qi Lin only needs to equip Baili Village with two captains, the chief and deputy captains, and he is fully capable of bringing out a village protection team that is sufficient to deal with the harassment of this kind of platoon-level officers and soldiers.
At Situ Baili's uncle's house, the father and son sat opposite each other and neither spoke, and after eating a slightly embarrassing lunch, Situ Baili proposed that he wanted to go to Dulong Mountain to see his mother and another pair of children. In this regard, Qi Lin naturally would not refuse, and retained a few team members to keep an eye on the enemy situation in Baili Village. took Situ Baili and others to quickly walk the village and return to Dulong Mountain, which is located a few kilometers away from Baili Village.
Entering Dulong Mountain, which had previously been occupied by bandits, Situ Baili found that the mountains that these guerrillas chose as bases were indeed relatively steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack. The defensive guard posts that can be seen on the road into the mountains from time to time can prevent any officers and soldiers who plan to sneak into the mountains to attack.
After a period of dismounting and walking, when Situ Baili entered this cottage, which was also a bandit stronghold, he found that it had been transformed like a town by the guerrillas. In addition to the guerrillas who walked by from time to time with guns on their backs, there were also many happy people.
Most of these people are family members of soldiers who have gone up to the mountains because of their age. Most of them were engaged in some farming work in exchange for enjoying the food and lodging arranged by the guerrillas. Of course, the family members of those who are old and sick are relatively responsible for some easier work.
For example, the so-called self-reliant farms that only exist in the Xu Jiajun raise chickens and ducks and feed pigs in the cottage. Everyone thinks about their own duties, and no one can do anything about it, and they treat this place as a den of extremely vicious bandits.
As for some of the physical work in the cottage, it is the same as the security team members who were escorted up the mountain today, and they need to be carried out by prisoners who have undergone labor reform. In addition to providing them with three meals a day, the guerrillas also set the amount of work they had to do each day. Although this is a bit of a heavy workload, it can be done with the attention of the captives.
If they are unable to complete the assigned workload, they will be punished by having their diet reduced, and the time for their labor reform will also be extended. In addition to these labor reforms, these reform camps, which were also regarded as a source of reserve soldiers, also had instructors who specialized in propagating Xu Jiajun's policies to instill the idea of overthrowing the oppressive ruling class in these people, who were also from poor backgrounds. Once this ideological transformation is successful, then the next step is the moment when they are absorbed into the guerrillas.
Prisoners who really did not want to join the guerrillas would be sent down the mountain by the guerrillas after a labor reform. Provided that they cannot be caught a second time by the partisans. If the next time they are caught by the guerrillas, the punishment will be more severe, and in the most serious cases, they will be shot as the targets of repeated repetition.
Compared with the strict defense of the outside, the inner village of Dulong Mountain is like a peaceful paradise, and those people who work will greet Qi Lin and other guerrillas cordially when they see them.
For the prisoners escorted by the guerrillas, the people who are easy to talk will laugh and say that Qi Lin and the others have gained a lot when they went out of the mountain today. This kind of scene of soldiers and ordinary people being like a family really made Situ Baili sigh, Xu Jiajun's policy of buying the hearts of the people is indeed extraordinary!
